Pledge Summary

Through community action and education, Cary is proud to participate in the National Wildlife Federation's Mayors' Monarch Pledge. We invite our community members, and our visitors, to join us through our diverse program offerings that increase native habitat and promote pollinator conservation. Opportunities are available through our environmental outreach web page at www.carync.gov/green and include programs such as our native plants sale, Arbor Day celebration, gardening classes, and volunteer workdays. We are proud to host milkweed habitats at our Good Hope Farm and our Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve. Through Cary's participation in the Mayors' Monarch Pledge, every household and community member can take small, simple steps to support the future survival of this important pollinator species for generations to come. Our commitment to this program follows years of ongoing efforts by Cary staff and residents to protect natural habitat areas and grow pollinator-friendly native plants. In Cary, we work to promote public awareness of how much we depend on pollinators for food security and to build healthy, vibrant communities.
